Conway: ‘Much Better Chance’ of Getting Deal Avoiding Shutdown Than Not

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway stated that she believes there’s “a much better chance” of getting a deal that avoids a government shutdown than not. She also stated that the president doesn’t want a shutdown, but also doesn’t want border security to remain the way it is.

Conway said, “Well, with the ultimate dealmaker in the Oval Office, Lou, I believe that there’s a much better chance of getting a deal than not. But look, the president wants to keep the government open, he just doesn’t want the borders to remain open the way they are. He wants there to be full funding for the government, but that funding must include adequate funding for border security.”
